How Marine Microalgae Make Sustainable Low Carbon Aviation Fuel
Natural, sustainable sunlight driven carbon capture and conversion
- Natural marine microalgae are single-celled plants
- Using only sunlight and seawater, microalgae capture greenhouse gas and convert it into algal bio-oil
- Bio-oil can be used as a low carbon feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel which lowers the carbon footprint of flights
Advanced Low-emission Biokerosene and Biodiesel fuels
Marine microalgae carbon capture and conversion into biofuel
- HutanBio develops high production low-emission microalgal biofuel solutions for sustainable energy transition to carbon zero
- HutanBio engineered marine microalgae
- HutanBio’s combined microalgal and bioengineering technologies deliver higher biofuel productivities than terrestrial plants without compromising food production
- HutanBio technology is a scalable route to a flexible, economically viable and sustainable solution to the global climate challenge
Engineering
Efficient, scalable biosecure photobioreactor systems
- Biosecure photobioreactors maximize production efficiency, product purity and yield
- HutanBio has developed photobioreactor systems from bench to industrial scale
- Our systems are highly robust having been deployed for over five years continuous operation in desert as well as tropical locations
- Our in-depth field experience is incorporated into our engineering to give better and consistent performance under extreme conditions
Research Platform
Biodiversity, Metabolic and Genomic Engineering
HutanBio searches the huge biodiversity in the marine microalgal world looking for safe, robust and efficient microalgal strains that we can engineer as production platforms for specific applications as new sustainable solutions in the global response to climate change.
- We apply metabolically-targeted protocols to rapidly isolate robust marine microalgae
- Isolates are characterized using quantitative physiological profiling
- Whole genome-scale genetic models from full genome sequence data provide a deep understanding of each microalga
- Using directed evolution approaches, production strains exhibiting high light, high temperature, broad salinity range tolerance are engineered
- Production strains are incorporated into integrated culture and downstream processing to make a complete industrial biofuel solution
